Which features are available to South Africa on Square? 
Tried following the link that I found during a google search but it does not lead to an article, it leads to the support centre page

Hi there, @TKay 👋 Thanks for reaching out to us here on the Seller Community! Hopefully, this space will prove to be a valuable resource as you look to use Square to grow your business.

Currently, South Africa is not one of the countries Square supports in regards to card payment processing. However, in lieu of card processing capabilities, you can still use the Square software for record keeping and organizational purposes - such as reports, item and inventory counting, etc (reports will be based off of transactions you have entered in Square simply for record keeping). 

In terms of your post regarding a South African bank account, you may find this resource helpful. While most international banks can be compatible with Square, you will not be able to receive deposits to your bank if you are located in a country outside of our International Availability. 

I've gone ahead and merged your two posts concerning these questions together.

Let me know if you have any additional questions! I am here to help.

Good Day,

I woyuld like to find out if I can link a South African bank account to Square and if so which bank can I link?

Hi Joe, regarding your response to Tkay's question, since SA is currently not able to link bank accounts on Square will it be possible to get payments if one links a PandaDoc account and gets payments there while using Square as a website/storefront?

Hi @Tshego,

Jumpin in for Joe here 👋

Card acceptance isn't available for SA at this time, so even though you could create an account to use the Square Point of Sale, you wouldn't be able to use Square hardware, or a Square online website to accept payments. Some sellers in countries where card processing isn't available yet use the Square app, and an external card processing machine to process sales in person. So you could still record sales with our software, but manually type in the amount to charge on your own device to process the sale. 

I hope this clears things up!
